Wonder What it’s Like to Work at Murphy Desmond?

Below are actual comments from current attorneys and staff at Murphy Desmond:

“As a mid-career attorney with a young family, it was important for me to find a firm that supports me professionally but also values the importance of work/life balance. I could not be happier here, and I highly recommend a career at Murphy Desmond!” G.B.

“I joined the firm later in my career, and it worked well as I gradually scaled back my practice. I have been able to volunteer more in the legal community and in charitable causes, and the firm has supported my causes. In addition, the firm has always had a family feel, and people care about each other.” H.W.

“I’ve been with the firm many years and have appreciated a team atmosphere, great benefits and the friends I have made. Working on the Capitol Square is a perk to the job, as well!” B.G. 

“I joined the firm after practicing in another state. My Murphy Desmond peers and firm management have assisted in growing my Wisconsin practice while allowing me to continue serving my clients in another state. I really like the focus on collaboration and sense of community within Murphy Desmond.” L.R.
